Best Cardiologist in Ahinsa Khand Ghaziabad

A 7-year-old girl presented with persistent pain in the right knee for two months. Initial investigations, including X-ray and MRI, raised suspicion of a malignant lesion in the distal femur near the knee joint.

A biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of osteosarcoma, a rare bone malignancy seen in children and adolescents. A metastatic workup was conducted to assess disease spread, which showed no evidence of metastasis.

The patient was initiated on a structured treatment protocol involving multiple cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, followed by planned surgical intervention and postoperative chemotherapy.

After completion of four chemotherapy cycles, repeat imaging demonstrated a favorable response, and surgical management was undertaken. Considering the child’s age and significant remaining growth potential, the key challenge was to achieve oncological clearance while preserving future limb growth.

A customised expandable prosthesis was designed for the patient to accommodate longitudinal bone growth through future length adjustments. The surgical procedure was completed successfully, and the postoperative course remained stable and uneventful.

The patient continues under follow-up, with the focus on long-term recovery, functional preservation, and support for normal growth and development.

Advanced Bronchoscopic Intervention at Yashoda Medicity Removes Eraser from 4-Year-Old's Airway, Restores Collapsed Lung.

Doctors at Yashoda Medicity successfully saved a 4-year-old child after a piece of eraser became lodged in his left main bronchus, causing near-complete airway obstruction and collapse of the left lung. The 4-year old child accidentally inhaled the eraser while playing nearly two days before reaching the hospital.

An emergency bronchoscopic procedure was performed using a flexible ultrathin bronchoscope and cryoprobe. The multidisciplinary team included Dr Rajesh Kumar Gupta, Director; Dr Ankit Bhatia, Senior Consultant in Respiratory Medicine and Interventional Pulmonology; Dr Lokesh, Principal Director & HOD of Anesthesiology & Critical Care; and Dr (Maj) Shaifali Bhatia, Senior Consultant - Paediatrics & Neonatology.

During the 90-minute procedure, doctors successfully removed the eraser and restored airflow to the collapsed lung. The intervention was particularly challenging because the child's airway measured only about 4 mm in diameter, requiring precise airway management and close coordination between the bronchoscopy and anaesthesia teams.

Speaking about the case, Dr Rajesh Kumar Gupta, Director, Respiratory Medicine and Interventional Pulmonology, Yashoda Medicity, said, “This was a particularly challenging procedure because the child’s airway measured only about 4 mm in diameter. Maintaining adequate oxygenation while simultaneously navigating specialized instruments through such a narrow airway required meticulous planning and close coordination between the bronchoscopy and anaesthesia teams over a 90-minute procedure.

Dr Ankit Bhatia, Senior Consultant, Respiratory Medicine & Interventional Pulmonology, said, “Cases like these highlight how small objects such as erasers, toy parts, nuts, and seeds can quickly turn into life-threatening airway emergencies in children. Any episode of sudden coughing, wheezing, or breathing difficulty after playing should never be ignored. Early diagnosis and timely treatment can prevent serious complications, including lung collapse, and can save lives.”

Describing the ordeal as one of the most frightening experiences for the family, the child's parent said, “Watching him struggle to breathe was one of the most frightening experiences for our family. We are deeply grateful to the doctors and medical team at Yashoda Medicity for their timely intervention, expertise, and constant support throughout the treatment. Knowing that specialists from different disciplines were working together and that advanced facilities were available gave us immense confidence during a very difficult time. We hope other parents learn from our experience and seek immediate medical attention if a child develops persistent coughing, wheezing, or breathing difficulty after inhaling or choking on a small object.”

Following removal of the foreign body, the child's breathing improved immediately. Airflow to the left lung was restored, allowing the collapsed lung to re-expand. The child recovered well and was discharged in stable condition on 18 June 2026.

Doctors emphasized that young children are particularly vulnerable to accidentally inhaling small objects during play. In this case, the foreign body had already caused the collapse of the left lung. Further delay in treatment could have resulted in severe infection, persistent lung collapse, irreversible lung damage, respiratory failure, and potentially life-threatening complications.
The successful outcome underscores the importance of timely diagnosis, advanced bronchoscopic expertise, specialized equipment, and a multidisciplinary approach in managing complex airway emergencies in children. Yashoda Medicity remains committed to providing comprehensive, advanced interventional pulmonology and critical care services, backed by state-of-the-art technology and specialist teams capable of handling complex medical emergencies across age groups.

A G6A5L0 mother with an IVF-conceived pregnancy had a history of threatened abortion and intrauterine demise of Twin A at 22 weeks of gestation. 

Twin B, a 24-week gestation male/female preterm neonate weighing 650 g, was delivered by emergency LSCS in view of placental abruption. The baby cried immediately after birth but developed severe respiratory distress and was promptly shifted to the Level III NICU for intensive care. 

The neonate received three doses of surfactant therapy and required invasive mechanical ventilation for 7 days, followed by non-invasive respiratory support, with gradual weaning to room air. Enteral feeding was initially limited due to feed intolerance, and the baby remained on total parenteral nutrition (TPN) until full enteral feeds were successfully established by Day 18 of life. 

During the NICU stay, the baby was treated with intravenous antibiotics for 2 weeks for sepsis. Subsequently, the baby developed fungal sepsis, which was successfully managed with appropriate antifungal therapy. 

Serial cranial ultrasonography was performed as per protocol and showed no evidence of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) or periventricular leukomalacia (PVL). 

ROP screening was initially normal. However, at 33 weeks postmenstrual age, the baby developed pre-plus disease in Zone II, which required laser photocoagulation therapy. Subsequent follow-up examinations documented satisfactory regression of ROP. 

The baby also required packed red blood cell (PRBC) transfusion during the hospital stay for anemia of prematurity. 

The case was successfully managed by a multidisciplinary team comprising Dr. Minu Bajpai, Dr. J.B. Sharma, Dr. Neha, Dr. Samreen, Dr. Divya Arora, Dr. Ayush Jain, and Dr. Nisha. 

After a prolonged NICU stay of 78 days, the baby was discharged in a clinically stable condition on room air, tolerating spoon feeds and breastfeeding well, with a discharge weight of 1,625 g.

Robotic Milestone in Advanced Cancer Surgery: Combined Robotic LAR with Portal Vein Ligation

Our surgical oncology team recently achieved another important milestone in minimally invasive cancer surgery by successfully performing a Robotic Low Anterior Resection (LAR) combined with robotic ligation of the right portal vein in a 50-year-old female diagnosed with rectal cancer and synchronous liver metastasis.

The patient presented with rectal adenocarcinoma along with metastatic disease involving the right lobe of the liver. Managing such complex cases requires meticulous planning to achieve complete oncological clearance while preserving adequate liver function.

After multidisciplinary tumor board discussion, a staged surgical strategy was planned with curative intent. In the first stage, a robotic low anterior resection was performed following total mesorectal excision principles to remove the rectal primary tumor. During the same sitting, robotic ligation of the right branch of the portal vein was carried out. This step is designed to induce hypertrophy of the future liver remnant, allowing safe completion of a planned right hepatectomy after approximately four weeks.

The use of robotic technology enabled precise pelvic dissection, superior visualization, and delicate hilar vascular control, allowing two major oncologic objectives to be achieved through a minimally invasive approach. The patient tolerated the procedure well and is recovering satisfactorily while awaiting the second-stage liver surgery.

This combined robotic approach highlights the evolving role of advanced minimally invasive surgery in complex gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary oncology. By integrating colorectal and liver strategies in a single operation, patients benefit from reduced surgical trauma, faster recovery, and preservation of curative treatment pathways.

The case reflects our institution’s continued commitment to innovation, multidisciplinary collaboration, and delivery of world-class cancer care using cutting-edge robotic surgical techniques.

A case of ABO incompatible transplant with high ANTI B TITRES

A 37-year-old male was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease three years ago after presenting with frothy urine and hypertension. Initial investigations revealed a serum creatinine of 3 mg/dl. Over the next few years, his kidney function deteriorated, and he was started on maintenance haemodialysis three times a week via an arteriovenous fistula. He was referred to our hospital by a former recipient who had undergone renal transplantation under Dr Prajit Mazumdar. On evaluation by our team of doctors, the need for renal transplantation was explained in view of end-stage renal disease.

His transplant workup was initiated, with his father considered as the first donor. However, he was rejected due to diabetes. Donor evaluation of his mother was then undertaken, but her blood group was incompatible with the recipient. In view of ABO incompatibility, anti-A and anti-B titres were assessed and revealed a high anti-B titre.

After detailed counselling regarding prognosis, risks, and cost, the family opted to proceed with an ABO-incompatible renal transplant. Rituximab was administered two weeks prior to transplantation, and he was started on tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil. This was followed by two sessions of Glycosorb column treatment on days 12 and 14, after which his anti-B titre decreased to 1:2. He then underwent renal transplantation with Solumedrol and Simulect induction, with anti-B titres monitored every 12 hours.

Post-transplant, he maintained brisk urine output and his serum creatinine gradually declined. He was discharged with a creatinine of 1.2 mg/dl and continues to do well on follow-up.

A challenging Case of renal transplant with a history of >22 units of blood transfusion and class 1 DSA positive

A 26-year-old male was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease after developing generalised weakness and loss of appetite. Investigations revealed impaired renal function with a creatinine of 12 mg/dl and haemoglobin of 5 g/dl. He was started on haemodialysis through a catheter placed in the right side of his neck and advised AV fistula creation with maintenance haemodialysis three times a week.

Despite regular dialysis, his anaemia persisted and he required multiple blood transfusions (more than 22 units over three months) even while receiving erythropoietin and iron therapy. Anaemia workup revealed occult blood in the stool, and upper GI endoscopy confirmed peptic ulcer disease.

He consulted our team of nephrologists (Dr Prajit Mazumdar and Dr Inderjit G. Momin) and urologists (Dr Vaibhav Saxena and Dr Kuldeep Agarwal) at Yashoda Superspeciality Hospitals, Kaushambi, where renal transplantation was advised. His mother, who had a matching blood group, was identified as the donor. However, transplant workup revealed donor-specific antibodies on single antigen bead testing (Class I) with an MFI greater than 2500 on multiple beads, most likely due to the multiple blood transfusions. This significantly increased the risk of acute rejection in the immediate post-transplant period, making the case high-risk.

After thorough counselling regarding risks, he underwent desensitisation with two sessions of plasmapheresis and IVIg to reduce the donor-specific antibodies. He then successfully underwent renal transplantation with ATG induction. Post-transplant, he maintained good urine output with steadily improving creatinine levels and was discharged with a creatinine of 1.2 mg/dl.

He continues to do well on outpatient follow-up.

Conquering a Complex Brain Aneurysm with Advanced Endovascular Therapy

Brain aneurysms are often described as ticking time bombs—silent, unpredictable, and potentially life-threatening if left untreated. They pose one of the most complex challenges in modern neurosurgery, requiring both precision and cutting-edge technology for successful management.

A 60-year-old woman presented with multiple episodes of severe headache, prompting her to consult Dr. Sumantao Chaterjee (Neurologist). Given the persistence and pattern of her symptoms, a brain angiography was recommended and performed by Dr. Dibya Jyoti Mahakul (Endovascular Neurosurgeon).

The imaging revealed a complex brain aneurysm, one that demanded meticulous planning due to its size, shape, location, and blood flow dynamics. After careful evaluation, the patient was offered a scarless, minimally invasive endovascular treatment. A flow diverter stent was strategically placed across the neck of the aneurysm to divert blood flow away from the aneurysm sac, promoting healing and preventing rupture. While technically challenging, the procedure was greatly aided by our state-of-the-art biplanar cath lab, equipped with advanced imaging tools like Vaso CT, CBCT, and MAFA software. These technologies ensured maximum precision, safety, and speed for both the patient and surgical team. Remarkably, the patient was discharged the very next day in a stable condition—aneurysm secured, risk averted.

Today, she is back home with her family, free from the shadow of a life-threatening condition, and ready to embrace life on her own terms.

A 51-year-old lady with left arm pain more than neck pain of 10 years duration, with BMI 44 and a short neck nearly the chin touching the chest, was diagnosed with OPLL C3-6 with myelopathy and fixed kyphosis of 20°. MRI showed cord signal changes at C5, and CT  confirmed OPLL C3 -6 with high probability of intradural mass ( double density sign). Conventional wisdom (K line, kyphosis, anterior pathology etc.) dictated towards an anterior surgery, but possibility of dural laceration (intradural OPLL mass), with potential for other complications (cord / trachea / esophageal compression by pseudomeningole, meningitis, spinal cord hernia etc.) were discussed in detail and a decission was taken to decompress and fix from the posterior aspect. The pre-op CT angio showed B/L high-riding vertebral arteries, which precluded the  C2 screw. 
 

Per operatively, the patient was positioned prone with the head clamped and a posterior exposure done. LM screw entry points were made from C3-6, followed by grade 1 facet resection at C3-4, C4-5, and C5-6 bilaterally. Further lordosis was achieved with manipulation of the head with the head clamp and closing the osteotomy gaps. LM screws (C3-6), a laminar screw at C2, and a pedicle screw at T1 & 2 were inserted and connected with rods. 
 

C3-6 laminectomy was done, and the surgical site was closed after bone graft mixed with vancomycin was applied laterally.
 

Postoperative x-ray showed adequate lordosis (approximately 10 degrees) attainment.

The patient reported complete pain relief in the left shoulder and arm postoperatively.

A tremendous job has been done by Dr. Amit Sharma. I met with an accident in which the ACL ligament of my left knee was completely torn. I met Dr. Amit Sharma then he analysed the situation and told us about the procedure and the time period to recover from the injury. He has performed a successful surgery. The good thing is the confidence that Dr. Amit Sharma has on his surgery that he didn’t put braces on the knee while other doctors put the braces on for a month and then started Physiotherapy which will take a longer time period to heal from the injury.
Dr. Amit Sharma has started the Physiotherapy from the very next day of the surgery and i was discharged in 2 days, and the Physiotherapy is undergoing at my home. It's the 10th day today and I have gained so much confidence in 10 days that I am recovering very fast and in a few weeks I will be able to walk without any support.

Thanks to Dr. Amit Sharma, he is really having magical hands, he is very kind in nature, in my regular visits all of my stress went away after talking to him.

Again Thank You so much Doctor
